C2374 quarreled (1/2)
The weather in England was just that annoying. Fog and heavy rain, especially autumn rain, usually lasted for three or four days at a time. The cold rain that fell in the morning did not stop until nightfall.
Although Xiao Letian and the others had already gotten used to the humid climate in the Pacific Ocean, it didn't matter how hot and wet it was. The wet and cold were two completely different feelings, one could rely on sweating to metabolize the humid energy, but the wet and cold energy would have to endure for a long time.
The British waiters were very careful. When they heard the complaints of the Chinese officials, they quickly lit up the fireplaces in every room of the East Palace. The sturdy, durable Norse red pine was sawed into firewood of a uniform size, crackling in the fireplaces, and the dancing flames drove away the moisture in the rooms.
Unfortunately, no matter how warm the fire in the fireplace was, it could not dispel the chill in the hearts of the people. In the study room, the leader of the Hua Clan, Xiao Letian, and the incoming British Prime Minister, Gladstone, were already extremely powerful.
The newspaper was placed on the tea table by the fireplace, written in bold bold black characters. It was a shocking sight to behold.
”The biggest riot occurred in the Dublin in a hundred years. Over ten thousand thugs burned the Customs building and attacked the Queen's Dublin Castle. A preliminary count shows that more than two hundred brave soldiers have been sacrificed on the streets of the Dublin …”
”The last strike within the Capitol Building. The rebellion within the Dublin has completely annihilated the possibility of Prime Minister Benjamin turning the tables on him. Currently, many people within the imperial court are guessing whether the Prime Minister will use the final move …”
”Threatening? When Prime Minister Benjamin threatened to dissolve the council, did the British Empire reach its most dangerous moment? ”
”Should we choose between a respectable downfield or a life and death net? This newspaper will continue to deeply report on the great change in the political field …”
The East Palace subscribed a lot of newspapers that could be bought on the market. They were piled up on the tea table and were over a foot high. The champagne bottles hidden in the piles of newspapers were almost gone.
The opening of the champagne did not have the slightest atmosphere of celebration. Originally, Xiao Letian and Gladstone would have a friendly light martial arts dinner together with an in-depth discussion of future cooperation. However, before they could finish speaking, the two of them had already started arguing.
”Xiao Letian! You'd better give me an explanation! Is this what you call a proper stimulus? The Dublin's garrison lost a total of 210 people, and the number of casualties among the commoners amounted to more than 500. Three districts were completely destroyed, and the Customs building and the entire storage area were completely burnt … ”
”The naval gun emplacement was captured, and the largest arsenal was blown up... Even Dublin Castle suffered from the siege of Burning Fire. Is this the appropriate provocation you're talking about? ”
”What I want is for Benjamin to step down, not for you to destroy Ireland!”
The buzzing sound made Xiao Letian's ears itch, he used his little finger to pick at his ear and sneered, ”Do you think political battles are games? Do you really think that Benjamin is that easy to step down from the stage? ”
”If I didn't help you plan this, would you have been able to replace me so smoothly? ”There's a saying in China, 'Since you're a whore, don't even think about getting a memorial archway …'”
”Do you know what the memorial archway is? The memorial hall is a monument to pure women. You are already morally corrupted, do you still want a medal? ”
”Rascal!” Gladstone was so angry that his eyebrows jumped, ”You're a scoundrel! What did you promise? You said it was only a limited stimulus, which made the Congress realize that Benjamin and the others had made a mistake with their colonization policies … ”
”When did you ever say the losses would be so great? How many spies do you have lurking in Ireland? Have you been working hard for a long time? ”
